From the Field August·Novem Ber 2013 62 THEORJOLE vol. 78 • 1- 4 FROM THE FIELD AUGUST·NOVEM BER 2013 Nore: The appearance of observations in this section does not suggest verification or acceptance ofa record. Observations of Review Species need to be documented and a rare bird report submitted to the Georgia Checklist and Records Committee (GCRC) for consideration. Fall 2013 brought a spate of interesting sightings, including the first state record of Tropical Kingbird in Clarke Co. and the third record of White.faced Ibis in Sumter Co. followed by the discovery of a Say's Phoebe there the next day. At the coast, an adult Northern Goshawk and Snow Bunting delighted a lucky few on Little St. Simons Island. A very success ful pelagic trip from St Mary's found multiple Black·capped Petrels, 7 Brown Boobies, and a Long·tailed Jaeger, while inland birders were treated to a remarkable 3 Sabine's Gulls at Lake Hartwel I.

    vol. 76 • 1 – 2 THE ORIOLE 37 FROM THE FIELD MARCH - MAY 2011 Note: The appearance of observations in this section does not suggest verification or acceptance of a record. Observations of “Review Species” need to be documented and a rare bird report submitted to the Georgia Checklist and Records Committee (GCRC) for consideration. Temperatures throughout the period remained slightly above average, with some notable extremes including a record March temperature of 90 ºF in Brunswick on the 22nd, the lowest May temperature since 1945 of 37 ºF in Athens on the 5th, and a record May high of 104 ºF in Waycross on the 23rd. Precipitation was equally variable across the state, with the north receiving 200-300% of the average rainfall for March and April, less than 25% of the average in the east for April, and less than 10% of the norm in the southwest. It was a record season for tornadoes, causing widespread damage, power outages, and at least 35 deaths. The storm system on 26-28 April may have been responsible for the appearance of a late inland White-winged Scoter in Columbus, and a string of interesting sightings at Lake Lanier including 2 Pacific Loons, a Laughing Gull, and 2 Caspian Terns.

  • October 2016 Wingfoot Spotlight: a City Surrounded by Trails by Tim Darnell for a Huge Metropolis Built on Concrete and Steel An
    October 2016 Wingfoot Spotlight: A City Surrounded By Trails By Tim Darnell For a huge metropolis built on concrete and steel and completely dependent on the automobile, metro Atlanta has a lot of outdoor trails for its thousands of runners and walkers. “I love trail runs and I love urban running,” says Nisa Sommers. “I like the urban trail run from the Old Fourth Ward, right on the BeltLine, past Irwin Market, crossing DeKalb Avenue and running right through the Krog Street tunnel.” Sommers’ favorite trails on the Atlanta BeltLine also go by some of Atlanta’s trendiest restaurants, including Gunshow and The Shed. “Make a left onto Wylie into Reynoldstown, straight down to the end of Glenwood over I-20 on Bill Kennedy Highway and past the new Glenwood Kroger. I like to run as far as I want to and then turn around and come home.” But for in-town walkers and runners, there are plenty of other options beside the BeltLine. Ultra-distance runner Jessica Rudd recommends Lullwater Park near Emory University. “There's about a 5K’s worth of trails actually mapped, but I've found up to six miles of connecting trails hidden back there that aren't even on the maps,” she says. “It's right off of one of the busiest corridors in town, Clifton Road, but you get to run around a nice lake. I've run into deer on several occasions.” Allison Fossey likes Lullwater Park, but “Morningside Nature Preserve is also a great one. It's right in the heart of Morningside and Virginia Highlands area.

    Reegionally Important Resources “It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future.” Georgia Mountains Regional Commission INTRODUCTION A region’s cultural, historic, and natural resources constitute native conditions and elemental quality; each contributes equally to local character and livelihood. As the rivers and lakes supplying public water, mineral deposits that support local industry, or a scenic park serving locals and tourists alike, these resources can, properly managed, greatly serve a community’s health, vigor, and economy. Because these sites and conditions are highly susceptible to disturbance from human activity, they are regarded as being inherently sensitive and significant. As such, each regionally significant resource requires protection, preservation, and correct interpretation for public benefit. This document, the Georgia Mountains Regional Resource Plan, was developed by staff at the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission (GMRC) over the course of 2009 and 2010, with input and guidance by representatives from our member governments and private individuals and organizations. It is intended to serve as an inventory and assessment of those historic, cultural, and natural resources considered vital to the character, ecology and overall well being of the 13 county area. It is also to serve as a guide for incorporating the preservation and promotion of these resources amidst the varying layers of management applied by local, state and federal government organizations as well as private stakeholders. In conjunction with the other elements of the Regional Plan, this document will help provide for the appropriate level of protection as the region and its local communities work towards achieving their respective visions for a better, healthier, and more environmentally sound Georgia Mountains region.

  • Vascular Flora of The
    VASCULAR FLORA OF THE UPPER ETOWAH RIVER WATERSHED, GEORGIA by LISA MARIE KRUSE (Under the Direction of DAVID E. GIANNASI) ABSTRACT The Etowah River Basin in North Georgia is a biologically diverse Southern Appalachian River system, threatened by regional population growth. This is a two-part botanical study in the Upper Etowah watershed. The primary component is a survey of vascular flora. Habitats include riparian zones, lowland forest, tributary drainages, bluffs, and uplands. A total of 662 taxa were inventoried, and seventeen reference communities were described and mapped. Small streams, remote public land, and forested private land are important for plant conservation in this watershed. In the second component, cumulative plant species richness was sampled across six floodplain sites to estimate optimal widths for riparian buffer zones. To include 90% of floodplain species in a buffer, 60-75% of the floodplain width must be protected, depending on the stream size. Soil moisture influences species richness, and is dependent on upland water sources. An optimal buffer would protect hydrologic connections between floodplains and uplands.
